Team dsm-firmenich PostNL coach Pim Ligthart: “The Tour de Suisse is really tough this year with six out of the eight stages finishing uphill and two time trials which open and close the race. With Oscar coming back after injury and fresh down from altitude, we will take it day-by-day with him and see what is possible in terms of GC and stage results. Next to Oscar, we have a well balanced team where we have chances in the possible sprint on the second stage and we can also look to go for stage results from the bigger breakaways with the likes of Frank, Gijs and Chris later in the race.”
